"Old Sword Play" by Alfred Hutton remains one of the best texts on the use of historical weapons and the art of historical fencing styles. Hutton studied historical manuals and descriptions which he analyzed and was then able to explain to modern readers. Hutton explains the use of the two-handed sword, the rapier and dagger, broadsword and dagger, rapier and cloak, cloak and dagger, the case of rapiers and the transition period.
